Pig prices in Vietnam have been on a steady rise, reaching a high of 68,000 VND/kg in the North and 67,000 VND/kg in the South due to increased demand for pork during the year-end Tet holiday. C.P Vietnam Livestock Company has raised its pig price to 67,000 - 68,000 VND/kg, capitalizing on falling animal feed prices. The price increase is further supported by a supply shortage following storm No. 3 in September and efforts to control diseases in the industry. Despite challenges such as the African Swine Fever epidemic, pig farming remains profitable, with large-scale farms like BAF Vietnam Agriculture Joint Stock Company leveraging lower production costs to gain a competitive edge. The country's pork output is expected to grow by 3% to 3.8 million tons, supported by herd expansion and improved ASF management.
